Then of each more particularly—­
  (1) Evangelistic
  Confusion of nomenclature prevents more than a rough classification
  (2) Educational:  divided roughly into four classes
  (3) Medical:  divided into three classes
  These tables are prophetic of line of advance in the near future
  The question of perseverance
iii.  Then the Educational Institutions excluded from the district
  survey must be added to the sum of the station returns to show the
  relation of the educational work to the population of the larger
  area
The importance of the relation of the higher to the lower grade
  institutions
The educational work of non-missionary agencies must also be
  considered
iv.  Medical work needs only the addition of provincial hospitals and
  non-missionary medical work
V. Two other subjects claim attention here, literature and industrial
  work
The difficulty of dealing with literature.  It needs special treatment
Two brief tables suggested
The difficulty of dealing with industrial work still greater
For industrial missions, other than those which are really
  educational, we suggest three tables
VI.  Union work

CHAPTER XI.

The relation of the station to the world.

A world-wide work can only be conducted on world-wide principles
These world-wide principles must govern the work in every part,
  however small
No country, however large, can be an isolated unit from missionary
  point of view
How shall we gain a view of this large whole? 
We suggest that four tables would suffice for our purpose:—­
  (1) A table showing the force at work in relation to
    population
  (2) A table designed to reveal something of the
character and power of the force
  (3) A table showing the relative strength expended in evangelistic,
    medical, and educational work
  (4) A table showing the extent to which the native Christians support
    existing work
  This is only a tentative suggestion proposed to invite criticism

CHAPTER I.

The importance of A dominant purpose.

It is a marked characteristic of our age that every appeal for an expression of energy should be an intellectual appeal.  Emotional appeals are of course made, and made with tremendous force, but, with the emotional appeal, an emphasis is laid to-day upon the intellectual apprehension of the meaning of the effort demanded which is something quite new to us.  Soldiers in the ranks have the objective of their attack explained to them, and this explanation has a great influence over the character and quality of the effort which they put forth.  Labourers demand and expect every day a larger and fuller understanding of the meaning
